MG MGF Technical - Inlet Manifold problems

I have stripped out all the ancillary parts and disconnect all leads etc.
I have removed the five bolts from the inlet Manifold on my MGF VVC but still cannot lift the Inlet manifold. Am I missing something as I do not want to put a great deal of force on the manifold?

The Rimmer Bros. EPC says that there are 7 Bolts.

Ok the MGF manual says five but guessing there is two under the manifold will take a look. Thanks for the assistance.

OK. The manifold (lower) to the block is 7 but if you are talking upper manifold to lower, then it is 5.

Thanks Geoff

it is the upper manifold I am trying to remove and have got all five bolts out but cannot move it I suspect it is just stuck together with the gasket. any ideas how to break this without damaging the casting.

Just lever it up with a stout screwdriver between the VVC actuator casting and the top of the manifold, the casting is pretty tough.
